Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like to play this game as it is stimulating and quick-moving. Great for those with a good vocabulary and spelling skills. Challenging.
Totally addictive! A great game for concentration, creative thinking and improving reaction time.
Good to pass the time and keep an old mind active.
Fun game but don't know what we're scored on time or words.
We really enjoy the game but there is limited ways to earn points while playing the game.
We love this game however we get ads for new games constantly we cant get rid of them and when the ads done Ive lost playing time. Please stop that practice. Im giving it Another chance and then Ill just find a new word game if it continues. We hope not we really like this game.
Love game but ads freeze the game ! Then you have to start over , please fix this.
Keeps crashing on us. We get over 10000 and we hit a letter, it gets giant size and freezes. We spend lots kf money on coins, get up to 10k, crashes and starts over. If im winning, the brown characters will drop down to the bottom for a certain lose. Cant get hold of develper.
When advertising comes up it will not go back to the game, we have to close the app down & go back in and start a new game! Extremely frustrating.
We cant stand when were expected to figure out how a game works…we get that Im supposed to string words and avoid getting mines to the bottom…is there a time limit? Do we get a certain number of moves before the game is over? Im playing and then the game ends (and no ours has reached the bottom)! How do we prolong the game to earn points? We want to like this game, but ITS ANNOYING! Ugh.
Good game if anyone can see there are 100 ppl. Wondering what the rules are? Hmmm- maybe we can answer them and get better ratings.
Incessant popping bubble sounds that cannot be muted. Major fail! Deleted after five minutes. Annoying.
The latest version crashes so much it's almost unplayable. It hangs between levels, and you have to exit the app and re-enter to keep going. Sometimes in the middle of a game, the blank checkerboard comes up, sits there, then crashes out of the app. You can re-start and confirm that it crashed without losing your points, but talk about frustrating!! Does anybody who writes this code actually try to play this game? We've never seen a game with so many bugs. Never.
Good game if it didnt freeze every time.
When we play the game it starts out working great the freezes and locks us out so we have to delete and reload to play each time.
Loved it! But now it freezes up all time. Very frustrated with this. It's a nice brain teaser so fix it.
The videos won't load for the free coins the last week and it freezes up. The app also seems to have slowed down. Definitely needs an update or we'll need to find another word game. Update-this app keeps crashing! If we confirm that it crashed, it freezes. If we say "no" it takes away what we have earned and starts over, then freezes again.
The game works on our phone ,but just keeps jumping off we're we pad ,fix it so we can play.
Ipad 1st gen, downloaded, opened to get splash screen, crashes before game starts.
After downloading, we were looking forward to enjoying it right away! What a disappointment when it won't open to play and then shuts down! What's up with that.
Took away over 1000 accumulated coins- from screen to screen all recently earned coins are gone- already tried updating. Will not be playing this anymore.
Game will not load. Only addictive if you are addicted to disappointment.
Wasted 43 mb of data and can't even play it. Keeps closing when we try to open it on our ipad 1.
This game is so much fun. Dosen't take long to download. Dosen't take up alot of space and if you love word searches you will love this game.
The power-ups are too expensive, but it's a fun game.
We bought 2000 coins to use and used up 400 coins while playing. Came back to play two days later, and they magically disappeared–contacted tech support "twice" and never received a reply. Horrible customer service! Update: 10/17 we finally received a reply. All they said was "Sorry, there is a glitch with the new iOS 7 and we can't do anything about it"–contact Apple for a refund.
We can't even give this app one star, can't get it to load. It's junk don't waste your time.
We love this game! Great way to pass time.
Totally got sucked in! Great game to play during lulls of the day. Thanks TT! :3.
Lots of fun! Was looking for a new word game and it didn't disappoint.
TT have created a great game, top notch graphics and very addictive gameplay.
We really like the game; however, we hate the fact that when you lose a level that you have to go all the way back to level one. It would be much better if you could bank the levels once you've completed them.
Great game but they no longer offer the videos to earn coins for the power ups. Now the only way we can play is if we purchase more coins. No thanks. Too bad we really liked the game and didn't mind watching the videos to earn the coins. Will have to delete game :-( if the videos don't return.
A good word game but very little coins earned for completing a level. Touch is extremely sensitive, frequently adding letters not intended to be added, especially if it is a good, long word. Often times letters seem to lead to a long word but the last letter is not there as an option/selection. These issues can be very frustrating. Overall, however, it is a fun game to play.
We mostly enjoy the game but when there are "no videos availble" (game's spelling) for several days it is frustrating.
Videos are not available for extra power ups. Why.
We like this game cause its like a word search.
Fantastic brain booster, challenging and entertaining. Highly recommended.
Fun, game and thinking together in one. Stimulating.
Our granddaughter and we work together on these puzzles.
Well built and fun to play. If like Book Worm this is a great game with some new twists.
It's a fun little time-waster, but it constantly bugs you to watch commercials to earn in-game credits or to sell you credits directly, and the credits last an incredibly brief time.
This game is highly addictive and before we know it, we have spent a half an hour playing.
We have played several word games, but this one has been the most addictive.
Fun way to challenge yourself and pass waiting time.
Great game. Love it. Fun addicting easy :-).
This game is addictive! Helps keep the mind sharp.
This game is addictive, just like advertised. We've enjoyed playing Word Buster.
We are enjoying this game. It is very addictive and it really helps as a brain exercise. We would like more explanation as to what coins are and how they are used. There are no instructions that we can find. We think there should be a visible timer so we can know when to use our power up.
It's addictive! Can't put it down once you start. Just wanna keep beating the machine.
